Other Ways to Solve

Absolute value equations

Penjelasan langkah demi langkah

1. Rewrite the equation with one absolute value terms on each side

|3x1|+|x5|=0

Add |x5| to both sides of the equation:

|3x1|+|x5||x5|=|x5|

Permudahkan aritmetik

|3x1|=|x5|

2. Rewrite the equation without absolute value bars

Use the rules:
|x|=|y|x=±y and |x|=|y|±x=y
to write all four options of the equation
|3x1|=|x5|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||3x1|=|x5|
x=+y(3x1)=(x5)
x=y(3x1)=(x5)
+x=y(3x1)=(x5)
x=y(3x1)=(x5)

When simplified, equations x=+y and +x=y are the same and equations x=y and x=y are the same, so we end up with only 2 equations:

|x|=|y||3x1|=|x5|
x=+y , +x=y(3x1)=(x5)
x=y , x=y(3x1)=(x5)

3. Solve the two equations for x

(3x-1)=-(x-5)

Expand the parentheses:

(3x-1)=-x+5

Add to both sides:

(3x-1)+x=(-x+5)+x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(3x+x)-1=(-x+5)+x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

4x-1=(-x+5)+x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

4x-1=(-x+x)+5

Permudahkan aritmetik:

4x1=5

Add to both sides:

(4x-1)+1=5+1

Permudahkan aritmetik:

4x=5+1

Permudahkan aritmetik:

4x=6

Divide both sides by :

(4x)4=64

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=64

(3x-1)=-(-(x-5))

NT_MSLUS_MAINSTEP_RESOLVE_DOUBLE_MINUS:

(3x-1)=x-5

Subtract from both sides:

(3x-1)-x=(x-5)-x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(3x-x)-1=(x-5)-x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x-1=(x-5)-x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

2x-1=(x-x)-5

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x1=5

Add to both sides:

(2x-1)+1=-5+1

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x=5+1

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x=4

Divide both sides by :

(2x)2=-42

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=-42

4. List the solutions

x=32,-2
(2 solution(s))

5. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|3x1|
y=|x5|
The equation is true where the two lines cross.

We encounter absolute values almost daily. For example: If you walk 3 miles to school, do you also walk minus 3 miles when you go back home? The answer is no because distances use absolute value. The absolute value of the distance between home and school is 3 miles, there or back.
In short, absolute values help us deal with concepts like distance, ranges of possible values, and deviation from a set value.
